The application discloses a kind of simultaneous differential and
phase diversity photonic time stretching systems of dual
polarization modulation.The
system realizes
differential modulation by X and Y polarization state in a single dual polarization quadrature amplitude modulator, and realizes
phase diversity by using two dual polarization quadrature amplitude modulators respectively arranged at different bias operating points.The
system comprises a pulse generation module, a
signal modulation module, a polarization separation module and a
data processing module.The pulse generation module generates pre-chirped optical pulses.The
signal modulation module modulates
radio frequency signals, so that the
radio frequency signals carried by the X and Y polarization sub-modulators in the two modulators are differential signals.The polarization separation module separates the X and Y polarization states by a
polarization beam splitter.The
data processing module uses maximum ratio combining
algorithm to suppress the power periodic
fading caused by dispersion.The present scheme greatly reduces the sampling rate requirement of the backend ADC, and realizes high-fidelity real-time acquisition of ultra-
wideband transient signals with low-cost hardware.
